Parker 425 ?

[Sportin' Wood]

Need some help from the Parker locals.
I'm racing in the Parker 425 feb 2nd 2007 and all the places I have stayed in Parker in the past are already booked between race traffic and Snow birds. I was thinking it would be nice to not sleep in the typical desert fashion of my Lance Cramper. Anyone have a suggestion? trailer parking for two race cars is a must. This is my first Parker 425.
I'm not looking for a hook up on tshirts, sponsors, gas, or anything of that nature and I will pay the rent up front. :rollside:
Thanks

Out of Shea Road would probably be your best bet.

Whatcha racing?

[Sportin' Wood]

Whatcha racing?
We are a$$holes and Elbows on a Jeepspeed 2 car. Running the first JS2 car in class 1700. Started building the chassis Monday, and there has been someone working on it almost every waking hour since they started. It should be ready to race in 45 days.
They would not let me race my buggy in JS 3 so I'm building a new car.. The buggy would not pass the new saftey rules for SCORE either so I had to build a new car anyway. I'm hoping to make a run at the 1000 in the next 2 years.

Would that be camping?
Looking for a hotel or house.

Right on....JS is a pretty competitive class you should have a blast. If you need any help at Parker let me know. I SERIOUSLY doubt our new truck will be done and ready for Parker. I wish...I've never raced that race and I would love to. Barry Becham at RPS started working on the truck this week to try to get it finished up. Right now I would say it is 75-80% done but there is still 30-45 days worth of work for a full time crew.

Shea Rd is definitely camping!

[boatnam2]

maybe able to get you a trailer in our park...emerald cove on the cali side about 6 miles up.nothing special but room to park the rides.

Shoot me the car number and maybe a pic and I will get some race footage for you. We will be camping at Bouse camp area (not good for you) and shooting stills and video in an 3-4 mile track area out from the pits.
Good luck.

[SandbarScot]

Did you try the Harbor Inn in Buckskin?

Cars not done being built yet but I will post the pics of it before we head out. The tenitive number is 1703 but will have to be verified as the jeepspeed sanction has not got back to me yet on the number.

Do you need pit crew members? I make a mean Bloodie Mary...

[Baja Big Dog]

The Parker is an OK race, it is a Best In The Desert race which means no chase, if you break you wait, it is a good race to have friends at that can run parts out to you.
We have semi-retired the number 1718 (formally 1700 class champ back to back) after an unfortunate roll and T-Bone in Lucerne)
We may be out in the #260 Best Buy, Yellow Freight pro truck, suffered little to NO damage at the 1000 (3rd in class) so look for us around and we'll kick in whatever help we can.

[Sportin' Wood]

Do you need pit crew members? I make a mean Bloodie Mary...
Looking kinda thin on pit crew as we are just getting started Barry. I stole half the good help from the team I was crew chief for last year so We are starting from scratch. You work for free? We don't even have a budget for steekers yet. :rollside: Let alone a beer budget for anyone that boats. :) Parker is going to be a cluster fawk for us I'm sure and don't want to scare anyone away. Brand new car will run but how well we will see. I'm using the crawler to pre run she won't be doing any rock crawling any time soon that is way too slow now!.....Ha ha like a jeep speed is fast LOL. :boxed:
We'll take any help we can get.

[JetBoatRich]

We will be out there as well:D in the pits with my brother in-laws team:D

[Ivan Dan]

Hows the truck coming along???? Post some pics...

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

It has been assholes and elbows down there for a month. There are 2-3 vehicles down there on any given day that don't belong to the Woods. It is making progress, but I know it will be down to the wire.

What is your brother-in-laws team and what does he race? Or does Jeff already know?

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

Jeff here,
I'll post up some info on the build in a new thread on monday some time since I have recieved so much intrest through PM's and phone conversation. I'm excited that there is this much interest in my little project. Thatnks to all the people that have offered to help, it's amazing to me. I was up till one am this morning and I'm headed back out in about an hour. Angie nailed it, assholes and elbows, but I'm fairly sure we will be ready.
I was unable to make the prerun out there today as we are more interested in getting it built , but a friend who is also racing jeepspeed is going to share his GPS notes.
Thanks guys
SW

[JetBoatRich]

What is your brother-in-laws team and what does he race? Or does Jeff already know?
They race out of Blythe; A&M Racing, Car# 1073:D took second at the last AVI race:D

Jim, sorry I forgot to thank you for the offer sooner. We are going to try to stay on the AZ side, though. :) Emerald Cove is just a little too far away. Thanks again, though.

[boatnam2]

no problem,i figured you didnt want to slum it with trailer trash.i know it is kinda far away but maybe in a pinch you would have a place to stay.good luck...let me know if you change your mind.

[Sportin' Wood]

Well I said I would post up a pic of the car when we got it done, Heres the best I have. Its not quit done yet but will be in the race, untested. Its gonna be tested when they drop the flag and by the end of the race we should know what we need to fix.:D
We are camping in the main pits, I have no idea which part, The car number is 1706.
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o301/ScottP66CJ/Jeepspeed%20Build/100_1428.jpg
Good luck to all that are racing come look up MMSW in the pits she will likely be board out her mind and attemting to drown the bordom out with some Jack and Coke:devil: I'm running the car for the DJR team from Race mile 50 on the second lap to the finish. Somebody better have some beer when I cross the finish line..
Things are looking great at DJR and we are working on obtaining the backing to race in the 40th Baja 1000 in november. See ya at the race. You can see the whole build up at

We are heading out to Parker on Friday morning to test some boats and want to go watch the race for a day, where is the best place to spectate? Is it anywhere near the desert bar?
Which heavy hitters will be at this race? I dont follow Offroad anymore, used to be into it full on but boats have taken over my life.:)
Thanks.
